BECOMING A BETTER PERSON

You have the choice to self destruct and you have the choice to become a better person.  And when comparing the two options to guide your life by, it's far better to become a better person.  Self destruction not only hurts yourself, but self destruction hurts everybody and everything around you.  Becoming a better person not only strengthens yourself, but it strengthens everybody and everything around you.  It's easy to destroy, but it's hard to create.  That's because creation requires empathy.  It requires functioning as a small part of a larger collective whole.  But in the end, functioning as a small part of a larger collective whole is much more satisfying.  Because you won't need to be alone anymore.  And being alone is a fate that's worse than death.

IT WON'T BE OHIO ANYMORE IF SUMMER LASTED TWELVE MONTHS A YEAR

I guess it won't be Ohio anymore if Summer lasted twelve months a year.  Though I wouldn't mind not having to shovel the driveway, I'd miss sledding and outdoor ice skating.  And if Summer in Ohio lasted twelve months a year, then real estate prices would be much higher.  However, folks don't go to Ohio because it's the coolest place to be.  Folks tend to go to Ohio to get away from it all.  Not that I'm trying to get away from it all, I just ended up in Ohio because of forces beyond my control.  But now that I'm here, I'm enjoying the time I'm spending in Ohio.  Though there are times when I'm glad that Summer in Ohio isn't twelve months a year and there are times when I wish Summer in Ohio was twelve months a year.  It all depends on the mood I'm in at this point of time.
